Rebuilt 1994 with new coupler extension system and fibre optic
transmission by Pipe Organ
Builders and Services.
The organ was damaged on March 22nd, 2010 by a severe storm.
The Pedal and Great chests were water damaged and caused many of the
pallets to glue themselves closed. These chests were
refurbished with new pallets and restored to original condition,
reinstated and all electrical problems sorted out. Some damaged
pipes were repaired with new leather to stoppers and timber to mouth
parts. Repairs by Pipe Organs WA Pty Ltd 2010-2011.
